This essay will discuss how the modern international community is heavily influenced by imperialism and how the superpower in the international order shapes the international law. This essay will dive into the history of capitalism and colonization. Ideologies such as valuing individual profit above all else defines the modern western law system just like countries all over the world valuing domestics interests over international cooperation’s. The colonizer mindset still impacts the global society. This essay will argue our current law that were meant to benefit everyone was a modern restructure of colonialism and capitalism. Through major historical changes like European empire building, both world wars, and the cold war the international law only serves their purpose if it aligns with what the superpower wants.
